Ohhh man..... I thought for about 5 minutes , pausing the video...... I found queen to g3..... Capa played queen to g3..... I was feeling proud.....in the next moment : Agad : "It was the biggest blunder of Capablanca." Wtf.....
I saw R takes queen, but it didn't look winning so I spent several minutes trying to find the winning move before giving up then was happily surprised it was in fact correct as I am rarely ablde to actually find the move.
This week, for the first time, I started hearing Agadmator's chess commentary while I played a game at my club. Specifically, I heard: "this is a nice rook lift"; "and now the rook has infiltrated the position"; "but now simply captures".
#agadmator commentates my games too: “And since there is nothing left to do here, it was in this position that kaldrazidrim resigned the game. Why did he resign? Well...”
Tarrasch's technique deserves special mention. Such restraint. He could have easily blundered the advantage right back to Capablanca, so poisonous was the board.
Me too, I was definitely much better when I was much younger and without any knowledge of opening theories! Now I'm playing too passively and reluctant to take risks, which is definitely not my style and not my forté!
@@teranyan Agad said in a match between stockfish and leela , that no matter if it's a losing position , don't resign put up as much resistance as you can......"as much punishment as you can give". 😉
@@teranyan How IS he a sore loser? He is deceased a long time ago. He can't defend against his critics. Your're one of the people who would "stick the boot in" to one of the greatest players of all time at the first sign of him just being human.. What have you done in respect to chess?
If you get the opportunity in your own games, especially if you're against a stronger opponent, always go for: captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures { draw by insufficient material }.
@@SenorQuichotte It depends. I practice against SF on lichess. Once I beat it on level 7, but level 8 is still too much for me. No human can beat SF at full strength (assuming they don't have computer assistance of their own). You do know that my original comment was a joke, right?
@@droceretik It don't think it was meant literally--just that it is surprising that Capablanca blundered a piece like that. Even agadmator said in the video: "He gives up a full piece, which is unreal for Capablanca, definitely one of the strongest players in the world at the time this tournament was played."
that's because we are used to watch masterpiece games for the player whose saga is dedicated to, in this case Capa..If we can somehow make Agad to cover the whole tournament it would be far more exciting and we would have a broader knowledge for the rest of the players :/
I found the Rook takes Queen move, and was very surprised when Capablanca didn't play it. I guess even the best can miss an opportunity at times. I also saw Black's ...Qd2 move that Capablanca missed! These videos are definitely better than reading the games in books. Thanks Antonio!
Last game you commented on Fisher saying Capablanca only plays good endgames after a marvellous winning midgame. But i feel from my very beginning perspective that Capablanca played this as a legend with a piece down. Very impressive push and constant blocking of positions. Your channel is awesome.
I love your channel! The way you give us the history, analyze the game, and give us a chess puzzle every video keeps me coming back! Keep up the great work!
New to your channel. Love it!!! I was thinking that you should show the winners point of view at the bottom of the screen vs. white's position all the time. That way if black wins, we get to see it from their POV. Just a suggestion. All the best!
Agad:- it's a crucial position of the game pause the video and find the best move.. Me:- *pause the game*... (after few moments).. Agadmator has a nice set of pillows.. i kinda like them..🤔
Impressive resistance by Capablanca a piece down. His biggest blunder was in Karlsbad 1929 against Saemisch as he lost a piece on move 9! In that game Saemisch also had to work hard for the win.
This happens to Carlsen in the candidates . He was playing so well, his ElO has gone to 2888 and he lost two games in a road, one to Ivanchuk and I thing the other to Peter Svidler and made it limping to the match with Annan. After losing the piece Capa created all kind of problems for Tarrash. Probably he has been too long in Russia ,weather and food not suitable for him. STill Three hurrah for Tarrash.
Capablanca needed to see this as an omen to take the psychological element in chess more seriously 😳 because it happened again in his match against Alekhine for the world 🌎 championship.
At the end of your analysis, white could play Rxa3, going into a lost R+B versus R ending. Still with perfect play it takes 20+ moves for black to demonstrate a win. Personally, I'd want black to demonstrate the win before the 50 move rule kicked in.
d6d2 is the game, but made possible by f4e5. Perhaps Capablanca lost his way in the tangle of combinations and thought d2 was still covered after f4e5. Too bad we don't know how much time he took on f3g3.
I guess when you are extraordinary , you try too hard to do extraordinary things. In that process, one forgets ..that sometimes, the simplicity of ordinary things is the best way possible...
Capablanca definitely put up a brilliant resistance after going down a piece but Tarrasch composure to not make a mistake while ahead is also remarkable if it was me the complexity that Capablanca presents would had easily derail me and he properly would had drawn.
I blame Lasker! He pushed Capa of his focus... PS I know it is Capablanca's responsibility to stay in focus, and these were all fair matches, I just dont like Lasker so I will always favour Capa 😊
I can't believe I'm still finding the best moves and continuations; I was never this good at chess when I played competitively and I'm getting old...bizarre. It's like the Twilight Zone :(
An average club player could trundle his way into winning that piece by attacking the queen, taking it, thinking a bit, then thinking "Hey! What about rook takes knight!". As he lost two games on the run, As Patrick McGoohan said in "The Prisoner" TV series "I was off form".
In the hypothetical position at 20:09 it is not clear that W is better. It is Black's move, and if ... Rb8 the B rook can come to b2 and capture on c2 or a2. If W replies Rd1 then ...Rb2 , & W can play Rd7 with mutual pawn-grabbing (beginning ... Rxa2).
In that alternate ending, where White could keep offering his rook in hopes of achieving stalemate, after Black plays ...Kd4, could White then draw by capturing the pawn?
Probably a draw vs Lasker would have yielded him a draw here, too. Certainly he saw captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures. But ... then he out-clevered himself pushing for the win.
But there was a forced trade of rooks until Jose had gone for a check with the rook. I don't if you have seen it or i miscalculated. I think it was this time 12:38. He could capture the passing pawn with the king.
@@bkocsis99 i've researched about this and its a very interesting endgame. There's really a checkmate but it's less move than a knight and bishop endgame. Just like the game about Carlsen vs Svidler
The situation when players make elementary blunders and lose afterwards, is not simply because it's chess and all things can happen. This kind of blindness happened to all the greatest players in the history with no exceptions, and it's due to the brain activity fluctuations. Human brain doesn't always work in full performance, there are days when no matter how hard you try, your brain just cannot produce any bright idea and you can make chidlish blunders in anything you do, including chess, low brain activity even leads to different kinds of accidents because the person simply doesn't have a quick enough reaction on such days.
In the series of exchanges, i don’t get why in the end black would choose to take the final bishop in e5, when they can simply take the pawn in e4 and equalize the material... Bxe5 Bxe4 Bxf6 Bxc2 Re1 Rb8 and black seems perfectly fine to me... but of course its not worse than being doWn a piece right 😏
I believe Agadmator made a mistake there. 18:55 instead of Kb3 for black the best move should be Bc2, then black can triangulate with his bishop and only then play Kb3 Or maybe I'm just missing something
Ohhh man..... I thought for about 5 minutes , pausing the video......
I found queen to g3.....
Capa played queen to g3.....
I was feeling proud.....in the next moment :
Agad : "It was the biggest blunder of Capablanca."

I found queen takes rook, but I didn't see beyond that very clearly
LMAO
That was funny bro😁😁

10:25 Mr.Lasker, рlease stoр making moves for other рlayers.
For me it looks like Lasker and Capablanca were very close, like Luke and Obi van Kenobi
TymexComputing or rather Anakin and Obi-Wan
A wild Lasker appears
Lol missed that initially 😂
He was THAT good of a player.
This week, for the first time, I started hearing Agadmator's chess commentary while I played a game at my club. Specifically, I heard:
"this is a nice rook lift";

@Nicholas Bruno No, there were no passed pawns, or fast pawns. Maybe I could get Antonio to analyse my game?
"and here of course you see the drawn continuation, but unfortunately we are about to witness a terrible blunder...." fml
"and in this position, @avoncolyte resigned the game."
#agadmator commentates my games too:
“And since there is nothing left to do here, it was in this position that kaldrazidrim resigned the game. Why did he resign? Well...”
@@kaldrazadrim ...and then as he exits the table: Hello Everyone!
Tarrasch's technique deserves special mention. Such restraint. He could have easily blundered the advantage right back to Capablanca, so poisonous was the board.
It seems to me that Capablanca played better when he had no opening theory knowledge :)
He didn't lose for over 8 years from 1916 to 1924, and became world champion.
Me too, I was definitely much better when I was much younger and without any knowledge of opening theories! Now I'm playing too passively and reluctant to take risks, which is definitely not my style and not my forté!
This channel is simply the best.
Anyone else got really sad when Agadmator said "and in this position... José Raúl Capablanca resigned the game"?
😭😭
No, capablanca is a sore loser wasting time when he is about to lose.

@@teranyan You have to make your opponent fight for his meal. And there is always a chance to draw the game, or to stalemate. Might as well take it.

So brutal, these two losses...thanks for introducing the real, serious drama to this saga.

Greetings from Brazil - Rio de Janeiro. Thank you so Much for your Nice work
Cheers from Los Angeles.

Leko defeated Caruana today, please cover their game #suggestion
Ok
That's wonderful. Thank you !
is it a good game?
15. ... Nh5 Caruana going for the draw again 😆
Probably the most tenacious defense I have ever seen.
Dr. Tarrasch played this really good. He was a real legend himself. I am kinda biased towards Dr. Tarrasch as I am a doctor myself :D
Thank you for your marvellous channel. The more i watch it the more i'm impressed.
Beautifully deadpan and droll delivery on "telling your friends and family..."
10:40 Even Agadmator admits Tarrasch played like Lasker in this game!
Yesss I love this saga!
Feeling like Capablanca already, wanted to go for the same blunder! :D
I love how Capablanca fought here, that's how you play chess
I cant get enough of these videossss
capa down a piece and still played like this... the guy was good
Best chess commentetor as well as best chess channel
Capablanca must have been on full tilt after losing to lasker to make such a blunder
New to your channel. Love it!!! I was thinking that you should show the winners point of view at the bottom of the screen vs. white's position all the time. That way if black wins, we get to see it from their POV. Just a suggestion. All the best!
10:26 "allows Lasker to trade down 1 more piece " Lol
It’s a great consolation to me that even Capablanca blunders pieces.
Wow, surprising to see Capa in such deep kimchi after Qd2!
😮 and I’m actually watching this on Saturday!!!
What a psychological blow Capablanca took after his game with Lasker. Going from first place in the tournament to two deserved back to back losses.
What an instructive game! Thx a lot!!
Agad:- it's a crucial position of the game pause the video and find the best move..
Me:- *pause the game*... (after few moments).. Agadmator has a nice set of pillows.. i kinda like them..🤔
How refreshing to find that even the best make mistakes. Now I don't feel so dumb.
Very well played by Siegbert Tarrasch!
Impressive resistance by Capablanca a piece down. His biggest blunder was in Karlsbad 1929 against Saemisch as he lost a piece on move 9! In that game Saemisch also had to work hard for the win.

Thank you really nice explained.
